Northfield Posted February 13, 2017 Author Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Carving the tops is one of the more creative stages during a build, and it's a process I've always enjoyed. I don't make a habit of using naphtha often since I don't like drying out the wood unnecessarily, but I find that it's helpful at this stage to bring the figuring out to get a feel for the carve.

Yesterday while setting up projectors and two 10 ft. screens, I played the Hamer DVD and there was Mike carving a guitar body while Joel narrated. So this is a nice thing to see as I drink my morning coffee. 2 Quote
